Actor Aditya Pancholi appeared at the Bombay High Court for the 28th hearing regarding the FIR filed against him in an alleged rape case. The petition to quash the FIR, registered in 2019 by a female actor, will be decided on March 4. Pancholi’s lawyer stated that the next hearing is scheduled for the same date.
The court session involved discussions on the demand to cancel the FIR, with the public prosecutor noting the victim’s absence during police inquiries despite multiple notices. The High Court has issued a new notice for the next hearing, following a dispute over the timing of the FIR’s filing in 2019. The defense argues that the delay in filing the complaint questions its validity.
During the hearing, evidence was presented to challenge the intentions behind the FIR, emphasizing the need for its cancellation. Both sides have requested time for further instructions and presentations, with the case set to continue in court until the next hearing on March 4, 2026.
